Wrong TranslateHttpLoader after upgrade app to Angular 17

Yesterday I upgraded my app to Angular 17now I get error TypeError: translateService.currentLoader.initialize is not a function, this is my code:

startup.module.ts

import {
  ICultureConfiguration,
  CULTURE_CONFIGURATION_TOKEN,
} from '../types/model';
import {
  TranslateLoader,
  TranslateModule,
  TranslateService,
} from '@ngx-translate/core';
import { CultureService } from '../services/culture.service';
import { firstValueFrom } from 'rxjs';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

import { SpinnerService } from '../services/spinner.service';
import { tap } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { StorageService } from '../services/storage.service';
import { DialogService } from '../services/dialog.service';

export function httpLoaderFactory(
  http: HttpClient,
  cultureConfiguration: ICultureConfiguration
) {
  return new InMemoryTranslateHttpLoader(http, cultureConfiguration);
}

export const translateModule = TranslateModule.forRoot({
  loader: {
    provide: TranslateLoader,
    useFactory: httpLoaderFactory,
    deps: [HttpClient, CULTURE_CONFIGURATION_TOKEN],
  },
});

@NgModule({
  declarations: [],
  imports: [translateModule],
  exports: [],
  providers: [CultureService, DialogService, SpinnerService, StorageService],
})
export class StartupModule {
  public static forRoot(
    cultureConfiguration: ICultureConfiguration
  ): ModuleWithProviders<StartupModule> {
    return {
      ngModule: StartupModule,
      providers: [
        {
          provide: CULTURE_CONFIGURATION_TOKEN,
          useValue: cultureConfiguration,
          multi: false,
        },
        {
          provide: APP_INITIALIZER,
          useFactory: languageLoader,
          deps: [TranslateService, CultureService],
          multi: true,
        },
      ],
    };
  }
}

export function languageLoader(
  translateService: TranslateService,
  cultureService: CultureService
) {
  return function () {
    return firstValueFrom(
      (<InMemoryTranslateHttpLoader>translateService.currentLoader)
        .initialize()
        .pipe(
          tap((t) => {
            cultureService.initialize();
          })
        )
    );
  };
}

      })

  };

  public getTranslation(lang: string): Observable<any> {
    let ret = this._data.find((f) => f.cultureCode == lang).data;
    return of(ret);
  }
}

export class TranslationResult {
  constructor(public cultureCode: string, public data: any) {}
}

in Angular 16 httpLoaderFactory function is executed before languageLoader while in Angular 17 languageLoader is executed leading to the given error...
